Cops run short of ammo due to war

On the front page of the twin cities Pioneer Press was an article with the above title written by Estes Thompson. In short the article explains that police around the nation are running low on ammo for practice due to the military using up huge amounts in Iraq and for troop live fire exercises. A spokesman for the Eau Claire WI Police Dept Lt. Karl Fisher was quoted as saying the department ordered 65,000 rounds of ammo costing about $20.000 in February 2007. He was told by the manufacturer it could take up to 10 months for full delivery. Police say they like to train with weapons that are the exact size, weight, and feel of their duty weapons further driving this shortage of ammunition. I wonder if they have considered airsoft guns for training....mmmm lets see exact size, exact feel, and the full metal gas blowback airsoft guns are almost the exact weight. You can actually fire these at each other and get the adrenaline rush only a live aggressive target that is returning fire can provide. Ammo cost "NIL" $20.000 worth of airsoft gun BB's would probably last them 10 years then multiply that accross the nation and OMG think of the savings to each P.D. by simply switching to airsoft guns for police training.

Airsoft Gas Guns and Green Gas

Here at Airsoft Battle Zone we carry many types of gas powered airsoft guns. Our inventory includes blow back gas hand guns, non blow back gas hand guns and gas sniper rifles. There are 2 types of green gas you can use the 1st one being green gas with silicone and the 2nd one being green gas with no silicone. Here in our store we only carry the green gas with silicone, reason being through numerous tests with both types of gas in a variety of our gas airsoft guns we carry in our store, we found the green gas with silicone has an outstanding performance rate compared to the non silicone green gas. During the testing of both green gases we found after 2 hours of testing gas airsoft guns with the non silicone green gas it froze the seals up and the gas guns stopped working completely. During the same test in gas airsoft guns with the green gas with silicone not one gas airsoft gun stopped performing even after many hours of testing with a variety of gas airsoft guns. Now do not get me wrong I am not saying the non silicone green gas is bad I am just sharing our test results with these 2 types of green gas.
We still recommend regardless of what green gas you use in your gas airsoft gun to always spray regular silicone in your magazine well and on the magazine gas seal approximately every 12 full magazines ran through your gas airsoft gun.

Your AEG And Cheap Airsoft BBS

Here at our store Airsoft Battle Zone located in EauClaire, Wisconsin we experience many different things through out each day. In the beginning of opening up our store on April 4th, 2006 we sold a variety of air soft 6mm plastic bbs .12 gram, .20gram polished, .25gram and bio-degradable .20gram and excel .25 bio-degradable as well as several different high end models of automatic electric gun (aegs) as well as high end gas blowback and non-blowback all metal airsoft hand guns. As a couple of months passed we noticed the customers that purchased this type of airsoft gun always purchased the .12gram bbs due to they were the cheapest we sold. As we watched 9 out of 10 customers who purchased these .12gram 6mm plastic air soft bbs and used them in there high end airsoft guns would come back into the store with there airsoft gun jammed from the .12gram bbs. Well with careful examination of these .12gram plastic bbs, we found most of them are not perfectly 6mm round and most of the airsoft bbs had flash on them. Meaning extra plastic on the seams from the molding companies. Now you got to understand with the high end airsoft guns the barrels are a perfectly round 6mm entrance leaving no room for plastic flash, in return jams your gun. So with many episodes of unjamming customer’s airsoft guns we completely discontinued our line of .12gram plastic airsoft bbs. Here at Airsoft Battle Zone we only carry the polished seamless .20gram, .20gram, bio-degradable and .25 bio-degradable excel airsoft bbs. So if any one of you own a high end airsoft gun and you are using .12gram airsoft bbs and you are experiencing a lot of jamming problems take a good look at your bbs, and switch to a seamless polished plastic or bio-degradable airsoft bb. Also do not get me wrong .12 gram air soft bbs have there place preferably in a spring airsoft gun. Another food for thought if you read the fine print on your airsoft gun store purchase agreement you will see most retailers inform you that if you use .12gram
airsoft bbs it will void your warranty. Again not all retailers do this but most of them do.
